SPRING EVENT 2005:

2005 Mid-Atlantic Chapter Spring Dinner

About 20 members attended the annual dinner, which took place on May 5 at La Madeleine in Rockville, MD. The event opened with an icebreaker in which participants were rewarded for correctly guessing which obscure fact applied to other participants. Prizes included pens, a GI Joe knockoff, a sleazy blond polyester hairpiece, a fairy wand and other valuable goodies. The short business meeting reviewed accomplishments for the past year and outlined objectives and tasks for moving forward. Some of the priorities for 2006 will be to update and redesign the chapter website, to continue having regional meetings, and to solicit more membership involvement. A past chapter president, Tamia Karpeles, again assumed the presidency for 2005/2006. Another past president, Eleanor Mayfield, received the first President's Award.
